A NEW ALMANAC.

The question of a new almanac is an
important one. Everybody is famil-
lar with the stereotype publications
or books of this class. We all know
what the old-time almanac is, with
its fantastic emblenls and symbols;
its odd old pictures, the mystical
signs of the zodiac, the full-faced sun,
and meek looking moon. How puz-
zling all these things are, in fact, the
unskilled in astronomical science can
get little else out of the ordinary al
manac but the days OF the month and
the time the sun and moon rises and
sets. Nearly all of us remember the
old almanac corner of the house in
which we were raised, and have con-
stantly before US the remembrance OF
our parents; in their accustomed
looking up the rising and setting of
the sun and moon, and their cogita-
tons over the prospects and conlec-
lures of the weather; and how the
moon would be watched to see if her
horns were up or down,so as to know
whether dry or wet weather would
prevail, The new almanac we refer
to is the Noina Almanac just pub
lishei by the Nolina Drug X Chemi-
cal Co., of Baltimore, Md. This de-
part from the ordinary style of publ
cations of this class. and while 1t con-
tains full information about the as
Economical happenings of the year,
the seasons, time, the sun, the moon
and full calendar for each month
these matters are no longer portrayed |
in mystical signs and symbols, but
ase put in a comprehensive shape, |
easily understood even by children.
The Volina Almanac is particularly |
adapted for this section, and the book
contains a complete diary for each |
day in the year, also a most interest

AS STRONG AS EVER.
That Is What the Idle Street-Car Drivers
Say About Their Strike.

The strike of the street-car drivers, il is said
by those interested, is as strong il ever in
purpose and means to carry on the contest
While the company claims that its force is equal
to any strain on the service the strikers may
make, the latter say that Colonel johnson has
been compelled to import men, claim is
1nade that one of his drivers taken from the car
by the police for drunkenness was reinstated
after he had been fined. There is no protection
to the public. say the strikers, in the employ
ment of such men. A driver who
was discharged for killing a child by
carelessly running over 1t has been
restored 'Ws are satisfied with what we are
doing" said one of the strikers. 1T is slow
work. but we will gain our end il not in being re-
employed by Johnson by doing all we can to
force the Council to grant a charter to another
company. The Johnsons suffering loss in
their revenue through our express wagons
There are constant Interruptions by passengers
refusing to put their fare in the box. Satur-
day night delay of twenty minutes occurred on
account of a discussion between the driver and
the passengers on Blakestreet car. Not one
of them would pay until he came into the car to
collect the nckles By these means We expect
to wear the company out"
Incidents of placing powders the track
and throwing cars off are frequent The driver
gets no help from the passengers. and to place
the car on again he must wait for another
driver to help him. The strikers were paid yes
terday out of the money raised for their sup
port It is expected that some evening this
week mass meeting of workingmen will be
held in their interest. Tonight they will visit
the Council 10 note the action of members in
regard to the resolutions aud other measures to
be introduced affecting the street car company.

DlSFIGURED FOR LIFE.
A Negro Cuts Woman Across the Face Sew
eral Times at Brighton Beach.

There was the usual motley crowd at Brighton
Beach yesterday afternoon. There was no scare
ity of beer on the ground. and the Sabbath desc
orators divided their time between playing ball
and drinking beer. There were the usual late
evening fights in which quite a number of per-
sons were roughly used. About o'clock. when
the crowd was preparing to desert the grounds.
Mary Banker, soored woman. residing at No
22S Lafayette street. came on the grounds hunt
ing Ler son, who had run away from home. She
thought he had been enticed away by Robert
Beard, living at No. Howard street, and she
searched Beard out of the crowd and asked aSout
her boy. Beard said he had not seen him. Mrs.
Banker said he had. That male him
mad and he struck her a blow in the mouth
with his fist aud knocked out three OF her teeth.
That did not satisfy him, and before the by
ISLANDERS could interfere. he drew his knife and
cut her several gashes across tha face He
would probably have killed her but for the inter-
ference of the crowd. She was taken home,
whore her wounds were dressed. She DOT
seriously hurt. but will be distigured for life.
Beard made his escape from the grounds and has
not yet been arrested. He told some of his
friends that he was going TO Terre Haute. and
the trains were watched by the police last even
ing but they did not get him.

A Jealous Negro Kmls the Wrong Man.

MEMPHIS, June Son Saturday night plan
tation on the Arkansas shore of the Mississippi
river. opposite Fulton. Tenn, was the scene of
a double murder. A singular feature of the
crime that the murderer a negro named
Sam Hays, mistook his victims for his mistress
and his rival. upon whom he sought to wreak
vengeance. He laid in wait on the bank of the
river, thinking to kill them when they returned
from Fulton, where they had been frolicking.
In the darkness he q man and a woman
cross over in a skiff and land near him, and,
supposing them to be the couple looked for, he
shot them down. The man, who proved to be
negro named John Strickland. WAS killed in
stantly. The woman, who was StrcKland's
wife, was mortally wounded Hays fed down
the river, but captured and brought to this
